Weight Watchers - week 4!

I did my 4th weigh-in this morning and I am down another pound! I was worried I wasn't going to see a loss this week (I do weigh myself more than once a week, to get a feel for how things are going, but my *official* weigh-in day is Wednesday)... I haven't been all that hungry, and not using all my daily points. In fact, I rarely want food. I crave smoothies made from fat free chocolate milk, peanut butter and banana all. the. time. I could live on that. I was also feeling quite bloated most of the time (not sure why). But, these last few days I stepped up the exercise and I think that pushed me over into the 'loss' category. Very happy! In fact, I am less than half a pound away from a 10-lb total loss!

Last night's dinner was great! Chrorizo and bean burritos. It's not from a WW cookbook but from this book that Miriam gave me:

Here﻿ is the final product:

Wow, were they ever good! I only bought one can of beans (oops), so we could only make half the recipe (3 servings instead of 6). The good news is I just have to buy a can of beans the next time we go to the store and I can make them again next week (or maybe even this weekend) because I have all of the other ingredients.

﻿

Despite the Bipster having two very generous servings, there was a (very) little bit left... so guess what I am having for lunch? (I refused to let him claim the leftovers this time!)

This one can sometimes be hard to find, but I swear by everything I've made out of it -http://www.amazon.com/Weight-Watchers-Comfort-Classics-Home-Style/dp/B002SG5WMU/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1296837717&sr=1-1

I just ordered this one a couple of days ago. I can't wait to get it, and I hope it arrives before Sunday so I can maybe add some of the recipes from it to next week's meal plan!http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002W7YQGI/ref=oss_product

Thanks for the info :) I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Watchers-Complete-Cookbook-Momentum-Program/dp/0470504919/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1296840105&sr=1-6 and so far its pretty good! I also didnt actually sign up for ww, just doing it on my own like you. I think your blog will give me the motivation to stick with it! I unfortunately have been neglecting my blog but plan to get a jump on it this weekend and have weekly ww posts also, so hopefully that will keep me on track too.
